Why keep managing your cloud infrastructure with rigid HCL when you can use the power of Python?

Traditional Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools forced us developers to use domain-specific languages that lack the ecosystem, tooling and best practices we love.

Let’s see how Pulumi and its supported programing languages bridge the gap between dev or devOps to Platform Engineering without language switching, while discussing how recent Terraform changes make now maybe the perfect time to adopt a truly code-first, open-source approach.

This session is a dive into IaC and Pulumi + Python, the OSS tool that treats infrastructure as a first-class code citizen, not just a config file. We’ll deploy and manage a Google Cloud environment, demonstrating how Python’s great ecosystem allows better abstraction, loop management and testing than HCL or YAML.

No slides, no agents YOLOing? Just 30’ of hands-on, live, real coding on a dark theme terminal.

Audience: Cloud architects & engineers, devOps, devs looking to grow into platform engineers before AI takes our jobs and dooms us all maybe :O?
